Waiehu surf guide

Waiehu is a surf spot located just south of Kahului, offering a mix of boulder beach peaks and localized reef breaks. It’s a relatively small area but has its unique vibe, attracting local surfers looking for something away from the more crowded beaches. The spot is best known for its heavy and challenging conditions, so it’s definitely geared towards more experienced surfers.

The optimal swell direction here is from the NorthEast, but it can also handle swell from the NorthWest. You can expect it to work well with swells sizes around 4 feet (1.2 meters). The waves break over uneven reef, presenting both left and right opportunities. It’s important to note that the best conditions usually come with a SouthWest wind, and you can catch waves during low, mid, and high tide. However, this spot really suits expert surfers who are comfortable navigating tricky reef breaks.

If you're heading out to Waiehu, keep an eye on the swell conditions. There's potential for some clean waves inside Kahului Harbor if the trades are blowing and the swell is maxing out, but you’ll want to evaluate the conditions carefully before paddling out. Always be aware of the local vibe, as this area has a strong local scene.
